qed: introduce devlink health support
This is a followup implementation after series

This is an implementation of devlink health infrastructure.
With this we are now able to report HW errors to devlink, and it'll take
its own actions depending on user configuration to capture and store the
dump at the bad moment, and to request the driver to recover the device.
So far we do not differentiate global device failures or specific PCI
function failures. This means that some errors specific to one physical
function will affect an entire device. This is not yet fully designed
and verified, will followup in future.
Solution was verified with artificial HW errors generated, existing
tools for dump analysis could be used.
